yes it does
there is a certain outfit that was worn earlier that derek is quite fond of
So now that serenity went full christain kim went full slut. forsaking everthing she had because why? Because she has to oppose serenity at all cost? Now thats a bit contrived
I need a crossover...

basically in the beginning serenity was the bad girl and the christians were suppose to help her become a better person through out the comic
it was rather generic originally

according to buzz the kids were idiots who prayed everything away but never came into their problems
which is why we get the lesbian thing and tim's shit
serenity is the only one who activley tries to change

That's so fucking depressing. The same kids that broke her sense of identity are now dictating a new sense of identity to her because they find the result of their handiwork disagreeable. Maybe next week they'll tell her to take up paintball and she'll meekly comply. Maybe the week after that they'll dictate to her than now she's a christian rapper. Just whatever they tell her she wants, that's what she has to do.

I think this yearly tradition is one of the few things that makes /co/ feel like home anymore. It's an example of a truly fun comic, and it's made way better enjoying it with all of you.

Thank you for your services, my man

No
it cant be over, this has to continue
serenity must save us all

Well, there were manic highs like Tim slam-dunking Eddie at every opportunity and Eddie's /ss/, and manic lows like Serenity screaming her sorrows about her husk of a soul to god in some bramble on the side of the highway,
But at the end of the day I'm glad I spent this rollercoaster ride of emotions with you /co/, and we all came out of this as better Christians.
Or as fucked up mind-break pseudo-bimbofication loving sociopaths.
Either way I look forward to the after parties later today. Happy Christmas /co/!

I thought this washorrible.
>>78441765
And here I was hoping the ending would be brown haired Serenity getting violated by a jealous Kimberly who's revealed to be futa. At least she lost interest in Derrick, that's good enough I guess. Thanks for the storytime dudes.
>>78441765
There was literally no reason for her to become a Christian. She changed her life through her own willpower. She was never given any evidence for God or any answers to her questions. She saw that Christians are not better people than anyone else, and that they have their own flaws. Every single little thread in this story should lead Serenity to the conclusion that just following a religion does not make you a good person, because no matter what path you choose or what you choose to believe, the only true way to be a good person is to put effort into it.
THAT would be a fantastic message. I would have been overjoyed if the ending was Serenity deciding she wasn't a Christian, yet not judging her friends for believing, because they have to chose their own path. And her friends in turn would learn to accept that you don't need to be a Christian to be moral, and that they can't just say "I am a Christian" and be a good person, they have to ACT like a good person.
But no. She's a Christian now. Because Christians are good people. And good people are Christian.
Huh, look at that.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE STORY TIME!
And... I guess for the Feels...
I wonder how many /co/mrades have been, well, converted by this storytime. Every time it gets posted the last book gets less and less of pic related and more and more of "Oh... that makes sense." I mostly feel that's because of the emails getting posted.
As much as the details of the story itself have really bothered me (yes, I am pretty much every one of the long rants in this and the previous thread, and yes, the implications about Christians exclusively owning morality really do affect me pretty badly), I'm really glad I took part in this little tradition with /co/. I've only really gotten into cartoons very recently, so I haven't been here for previous years, but it really felt like I was a part of something with all the others who soldiered through this epic storytime.
If nothing else, the series does really seem to have an effect on people, myself included, and I'm happy that I got to experience all the twists, turns,laughs, and emotional gut-punches with all of you. I hope that you all have a fantastic new year, especially the kind posters who brought us this little adventure today.
Do you think Christ-chan and Serenity will be good bible buddies?
>>78441611
Oldfags, veterans of the Serenity threads past, I beseech thee, let the edits flow!
Or at least int he morning. I didn't realize it was already 2 am...
Thanks for the dump, I feel really bad for Serenity, all of her friends, and her mother are horrible horrible people
I think she was always a good person and didn't need to be brainwashed into believing it
Fuck Christians 2bh

As an atheist, I'm happy to admit that Buzz seem like a quite insightful and good guy and that Serenity actually is a great comic. Don't judge a book by its cover etc.
>>78442024
OK, but first...
>>78441606
It ran late this year, too late for me to be awake to post the things when the pages were posted.
>>78444149
Ah, damn. I meant to reply to >>78442023
>>78441784
>>78441765
Years after the final chapter was released, Buzz continued the story a little with this.
And every year no one seems to remember to post it except me.

>>78444205
>>78444211

>>78442023
Now, which edits actually got posted during the threads this year and which were not?
>>78444205
Probably referring to the Church Elders.
My RE teacher was a member for one of the local churches, basically they help the pastor/vicar/whatever run the church and organize fundraisers and such.

So did anyone else read Tim in Cleveland Jr's voice?
Wait, so noone is confirmed as lesbian?
>>78444965
Well, not confirmed but honestly it's quite obvious.
>>78444965
It's pretty clear that Lori has lesbian tendencies but she does not identify as a lesbian.
>no humiliation art of Serenity bottomless in church wearing only her outgrown grade school outfit as a shirt.
Come on pornographers
>>78445991
That's not very Christian anon
Would intensely cuddling Serenity be sinful and uncathloc?
>>78441536
It's a privilege to experience this tale every time. God bless all the posters who made this happen once again!
>>78446529
I don't get it when people talking about it being a bad end, or it being about indoctrination. Its not like anybody drags her kicking and screaming into a church, she does all that of her own volition.
But then again i've heard people saying the same shit about Kamen Rider Fourze and its theme of friendship. Some people appear to just want every story to actually be dark and deep.
>>78446527
How intense are we talking?
What's the best place to contact the author? Does he still use his DA? I think he'd be happy to know that the annual Serenity dump is still a thing.
>>78446599
>But then again i've heard people saying the same shit about Kamen Rider Fourze and its theme of friendship
How can people miss the point so hard about Fourze?

>>78441765
Well this was one hell of a ride you guys.
Same time next year?
Thanks Ops & Asrial. Serenity story time is my favourite /co/ holiday tradition.
>>78446599
To be honest, that's the point of indoctrination/brain washing. The character being indoctrinated or brain washed or whatever eventually starts doing the things asked of them "out of their own volition", but it's not really their own opinion anymore.
Thanks OP and Merry Christmas to everyone.
>>78448684
>>78446529
Who draw the line between changing ideas and brainwashing?
Also, its not like the author treats her friends as always being on the right. As showed by the e-mails, the fact that her friends don't know how to deal with their own problens is one of the most important parts of the comic, Serenity is the one with courage to try to change and deal with her problems instead of running away or ignoring, also, its show that they really care about her, and are willing to change their minds.
I just think that people look at it with very cynical lens, or are projecting their bad experiences on it, when the opposite less cynical way is also very common.
>>78448959
You make a good point, and that's where interpretation comes into play.
My original reaction to this last chapter was very much akin to the ideas in >>78446529
But after reading the emails by the author. I think a case can be made for both views. The fact that the author treats her friends as not always being right can also be seen as an ironic commentary on Christianity and indoctrination, especially with how Serenity's "friends" for the most part are terrible people towards her.
I think the point would have been gotten across a whole lot clearer if the comics hadn't been cancelled, but sadly this is what we'll be stuck with for now.
>>78444722
I did. It felt... natural.
>>78444722
I had the same with Eddie after some anon in the previous thread mentioned it, I could just not stop reading him in Dean Venture's voice.

>>78451388
Wow, OPs.
Y'all some mega dedicated niggas.
Praise be for you two.
I just...
I don't have a corruption fetish, but this shit is seriously giving me second thoughts about it. I'd be humored to ask to storytime a certain Jack Chick comic abut a similar theme, but...
I feel I'd come short compared to this shitstorm.
Would /co/ still like this story if it was about Serenity being inducted into a lesbian cult?
As a fairly newfag who joined along for this ride I must say this is far more enjoyable than I originally expected.
>>78452167
Depends
How far down the rabbit hole do we go?
Is there a nun scene?
Is it consenting or forced?
Even if just two of these are answered, I wouldn't mind reading.
>>78452167
Yes, of course. Is there such a story?
>>78452448
>nuns
They're not Catholic. If you want a double-time nun scene go read Adventures of a Lesbian College School Girl.
It would be more like they would shun Serenity for liking Derek, and hide dildos in her locker and shit.
>>78452488
Not to my knowledge. I wrote a LorixSerenity fanfic like five years ago, but I don't have it saved. It might be on of of the pco threads.
>>78452167
Is this even a question?
>you will never rescue Serenity from her shitty friends and be there for her so she doesn't have to force herself into believing a lie
;_;
I'm so bitter
Forgot I had this. Enjoy /co/
>>78453164
>believing a lie
Something something fedora.
But seriously Christianity, no matter your thoughs on it in the real world, genuinely improved her life in the book.
>>78452741
Yes. Perfect.
>>78453241
well it's a bit unfair, they sent their main man JC for the assist during the whole river drowning thing, it clearly left a positive bias on their favor
>>78453342
If you genuinely have reason to believe JESUS HIMSELF directly saved your life, it would be stupid not to become a Christian, as you have tangible evidence its true.
>>78453434
The point is the author had to throw in a literal miracle to sway her
It's pure bullshit
I think one of the most realistic parts of this comic is that even after Serenity becomes a Christian, she still feels empty inside. I feel like most religious comics gloss over that part and make it sound like if you just go to church and pray and shit your life will be fulfilled.
>>78455495
So the moral is be yourself but pray for jesus
>>78441718
I don't usually dye my hair. What probably happen if you bleached it and redyed it a completely different colour TWICE in the space of, I'm guessing, a week or so?
>>78455599
Not to be That Guy, but is there an un-censored version, or was it drawn like that?
>>78455667
I had a friend who fucked her hair doing that.
it looked like straw
>>78455777
Just search for Serenity_Harper on rule34(dot)paheal
I find it there
>>78455752
Uncensored is on Paheal.
Kinda tempted to pick these up on the cheap off Amazon just to have them as a joke for shelf threads. I don't suspect reading them would be nearly as fun without /co/ around.
>>78442024
>I think she was always a good person and didn't need to be brainwashed into believing it
She was pretty petty, spiteful and vengeful in the beginning.
You can argue that she didn't need Christianity to fix that, and that anything that could help with her feelings of being unloved and worthless would have done it, but y'know.
>>78446599
>Its not like anybody drags her kicking and screaming into a church, she does all that of her own volition.
Wellllllllllll
In the first issue, the kids decide that Serenity's going to be their pet project without consulting her, they refuse to go away even when she makes it clear she doesn't want them around, and they (deliberately or not) drive away the people she'd prefer to hang out with. In other words, they isolate her from her other peers so that they can continue to push their doctrine onto her - classic brainwashing behaviour.
She clearly picks it up and starts running with it, though, to the point of surpassing them around the point at which she starts asking questions they've clearly never bothered to think about. But the first step was clearly not voluntary on her part.

You know... Buzz is a pretty cool christian. A rarity to be sure, but he's cool.
>>78456948
>A rarity to be sure
Nah, you just rarely hear about the good ones because they're not really newsworthy. This is as opposed to, say, conversion camps, molestation scandals, WBC, etc.
There's tons of good churches, church elders that do great things for the community, pastors with perspective, and generally cool Christians out there. This is coming from a guy who's an atheist from birth.

i didnt think anyone had saved any of my old, shitty art from past serenity threads.
I like that the broke her down completely
Told her all the things they didn't like about her and made her change them. And then made fun of her when she did and then "let" her be herself again but now under their total influence.
>>78441581

Wanna re-do them/make more? I'll save those too, I like them.
>>78441601
>>78441606tfw i've been there
>>78441654
okay as much as the others were at least they matched
nothing in that outfit goes together
If they had ended it before she dies her hair back to blue, then I'd totally agree with the whole "Brainwashing and indoctrination!" stuff people have been clamoring about. But with the "It's still OK to be you" and the Buzz Emails, I'm not so defensive about it.
I mean, Serenity IS much happier and HAS improved her life a lot. I don't know how much of that is her converting, and how much was her changing her life herself, but we should all agree that she would not have headed down the path of improvement if she had not been the "pet project" of the bible thumpers.
Though I do wish there had been a more... moderating? Is that the right word? A more moderating non-Christian presence. Someone who was perhaps a secular humanist, who believed in doing right to your fellow man just because that's the right thing to do, or something similar. Just something to show that not all non Christians are like the harpy teacher.
>>78455752Goddamnit, pixel brush always gets me hard.
>>78457678
The author makes it clear that morality is impossible without religion via Professor Claw
>>78452167
I started writing something for this, but it's kind of slow burn and I'm not sure if I'll finish it. Should I post it here?
>>78456160
you'll probably get a lot of 10/10s for it
but yeah i have 2 of them and its funner to read it here
nice to have on a rainy day when you have no power
>>78458191
Go for it senpai, I'm interested.
>>78457903
which is weird given that professor claw is a huge dipshit
i mean no offense to buzz (god i hope claw isnt a self insert) but almost nothing the claw says makes sense or is an intelligent remark
>>78442044
>OH JESUES! OH JESUS!
gotta a hearty chuckle out of me
>>78458191
Same as >>78458496
do it up desu
>>78458625
>>78458496
Do we still have word filters up? And what are they?
>>78458534
Yeah, I hate everything he says.
>>78458648
tb.h = desu
f.am = senpai
s.mh = baka
c.uck = kek
I like it, it cuts down on shitposting
>>78441674
She's in trouble for wearing a spaghetti top?
>>78444205
oh dang
Serenity really is rubbing off on themStill not rubbing Lori off though
>>78458733
she's in trouble for dressing like a huge slut
>>78458733
Just look how her dad reacted when he saw her in >>78441593. He probably called her the "whore of Babylon" at least once when they got home.
>>78458674
I'm not even sure what the two middle ones are even supposed to mean.
>>78458814
thats a weird page though
>you are only wearing that around the house, right?
thats just bad wording
>>78458825
Black people speak
/pol/ and shitposter affiliates use it ironicallythose of us with less than stellar acquaintances use it thanks to cultural osmosis.
>>78458825
The first is short for "family". It's like "bro". I heard it originated in the California black community.
The second is short for "shaking my head".
>>78458757
>>78458814
>It's only okay to dress as a huge slut around the house where I can see you, young lady
>>78458850
I use desu and senpai without the wordfiltering. I like it desu :3
>>78458850
>>78458957
I've never seen either of those two used on any of the boards I visit...
Are they really prolific enough to get a word filter?
>>78458625

Ok dawgz, incoming chunks.
The morning bell rang, signalling the beginning of a new school year at James A. Madison High School. Most students were already seated in their classrooms, hands crossed in prayer. A few latecomers leaned against their lockers or milled about in the cafeteria, waiting for the morning announcements to finish.
Through the frosted glass window of the principal's office, a blue and red blur could be seen slouched in the hot seat across from principal's desk. It was 8:00 a.m., and Serenity Harper was already in trouble.
"I believe every pupil deserves an opportunity, Miss Harper, but you already blew your second, third, and fourth chances! One more and you're out!"
"Then let's speed things up. Cram it."
"Don't try getting expelled on your first day! We'll make an effort--but you must, too!"
"Stupid school! Buncha fucking dorks," Serenity mumbled, as she grabbed her schedule and headed off to find her first class.
"Hey, are you lost?"
Serenity turned around in time to see a trio of students approaching from behind. Some wannabe cool guy with bleached spiked hair and a soul patch, flanked by a tall girl with long, navy blue hair, and a hulking black dude.
"I'm Derek, and this is Kimberly and Tim."
Serenity glanced at the speaker's hoodie. "Prayer Club? Oh no! Not bible bangers! I want no holy roller frados dogging me! Got a rep to maintain."
She skirted around the corner to let the burn sink in, taking a peak to get a second look at blondie. "Derek looks mighty fine," Serenity thought to herself. She grinned. "Y'know, it just might be fun--to reel in a choir boy."
>>78459142
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUlrXJ6P9q0
>>78459216
The next day, the prayer club moved into action. Sally got the ball rolling by sneaking up on Serenity just as she was leaving her locker.
"Bad news, Serenity. You're really going to hate this. You are our new pet pet project! No matter how obnoxious you act, no mater how crude you talk, we'll still be your friends."
Serenity could do nothing but stare at the petite black girl, eyes wide and her mouth agape in a silent scream of horror.
The others chimed in one by one. "That doesn't mean we'll tolerate rude behaviour or wrong doing, but if you need help or somebody to talk to, we'll be there. You should think about coming to our prayer club on Friday night."
*bang*bang*bang* By this point, Serenity had gotten over her initial shock and was now smacking her forehead against her locker, muttering ,"Why me?" over and over again.
"Maybe we should let her think it over..."
By Friday evening, Serenity had already settled into a routine of getting into small altercations and dodging the numerous attempts of the notorious prayer club as they seemed to hound her wherever she went. They were so relentless that no one else in school could even stand to be near her, assuming she was some kind of snitch who'd already been assimilated by the Jesus borg. Since all of her old friends were still in L.A., here she sat at home, clipping her toenails and watching the new Angry Dead single on MTV.
"In school one week and already six notes from your principal!?!?!"
"Hey, I'm trying to concentrate." Serenity paused to scowl at the technicolour nightmare that was her mother.
"They'll jail you again..."
"I am in jail--you're the warden!" Serenity threw the clippers across the room, making her way toward the front door.
"Come back here! Where do you think you're going?"
"Out!"
>>78459241
Not three seconds after the door slammed behind her, Serenity realized her mistake.
"Oh no! Moron--you just locked yourself out! No keys, no money! It's freezin', but I can't go back--Mom would have to let me in. I don't want her gloating! Can't go anywhere... got no friends... can't go back..." A warm yellow glow caught Serenity's eye. "Huh, Kimberly's church." A poorly written sign out front stated, "YOUTH GROUP TONITE." "I don't wanna go... but they did invite me... and it's warm! Nah--why hang out with a buncha bible banging losers? 'Sides, I'm not dressed--they'd laugh at me... or get offended..." A michievious smile lit up Serenity's face. "That's it! If I tick 'em off--they'll never bug me again!"
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud..."
"Yo! Youth group?"
"Welcome. You're Serenity, right?" The man who had been reading stood up to welcome her, smiling. "My daughter Kimberly mentioned a new girl. I'm pastor Calvin. Where's your bible?"
"Don't own one."
"No bible? We can't have that! Here, take this one."
"In Corinthians..."
"What's a 'Corninthians?'" Serenity whispered to the girl beside her, whose name she remembered briefly was Kimberly.
"Try the New Testament."
"What's a testament?"
"Paul speaks to us about the nature of love. Who can tell me what is the purest form of love?"
"The love between God and his people?"
"Close, Tim. Anyone else?" A tomboyish girl in the back with a ponytail raised her hand. "Yes, Lori?"
"The love between two girls?"
"Excellent--very good Lori!"
>>78459270
Serenity, who had until this point not been paying much attention and rather envying the hair of the girl next her, choked on her own saliva. "Wait, what?!"
Derek, who was sitting on her other side, slapped Serenity on the back a couple times to clear her wind pipe before she could breathe.
"In the old testament we learned that Ruth loved Naomi as Adam loved Eve. While Ruth had to marry Boaz in order to bear children, she and Naomi experienced the most pure form of love, not given to the lusts of man, which is what Paul is referencing here."
"But like... aren't men and women meant to be together?" Serenity made a circle with one hand and poked through it with the index finger of her other hand to emphasize the point.
"Yes, but only for the sake of procreation. Only two women can experience true love."
This revelation was confusing to Serenity, who granted did not know very much about the bible, but who had never heard any street preachers in L.A. rave about lesbians.
"But what if I don't feel that way about other girls? No offence, but I like the D." Serenity emphasized the last letter, taking a side glance at Derek.
"How do you know? Have you ever tried making love with another girl?"
"Well this one time I got high and made out with some other girl at a block party... Wait--why the fuck am I telling you this? You guys are messed up!"
"Watch your language, Serenity. This is the house of the Lord." Pastor Calvin stopped to look at the clock. "Looks like it's 8:30 now--we'll have to pick this up again next week."
>>78459216
>It was 8:00 a.m., and Serenity Harper was already in trouble.
already like this start desu
>>78459299
"Well, Serenity, your ideas certainly were... uh.. interesting. Your fashion sense is intersting too." Kimberly grinned, stopping to look at Serenity's bare feet.
"I locked myself out with no shoes."
"How will you get home?" Pastor Calvin asked.
"Maybe Derek can give me a ride."
"We'll give you a ride."
"--But"
"I insist," said Kimberly.
Serenity gazed longingly at Derek, but he was already halfway out the door and she didn't want to walk back home without shoes.
*Sigh* "Fine."
On the drive home, Serenity broke the silence. "You must hate my arguing."
"God loves you as you are... He just wants your full potential. As long as you're willing to listen, there's hope."
"Hope? My life's a jooke that I'm not in on. Nobody cares!"
"God cares."
"That's the biggest joke of all."
"See you next week?"
"I'll think about it."
Serenity was more confused than ever. Something about the conversation in the car had touched a nerve, and reminded her of her loneliness.
Taking a deep breath, she rang the doorbell to her house. "Boy, is mom going flip when she hears I went to church." Serenity grinned. "It might actually be worth hanging out with these freaks just to piss her off."
I can't wait until all Lori's repressed urges break at once and she rapes Serentiy during a sleepover.

That's all I got for now. As I said, slow burn. Not sure where to take it next because there's lots of irrelevant shit in the story, like the money stealing thing and dumpster babies. Let me know if you guys want to read more.
